Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Gamba Osaka welcome Vegalta Sendai for this crunch clash at Panasonic Stadium Suita.
  • 5' Gamba Osaka seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jakub Slowik, as he is very good at scoring at Panasonic Stadium Suita with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 25' Takashi Usami needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 16 Yellow cards this season.
  • 30' Japan international Takuma Abe has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 35' Gamba Osaka are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 37' Keiya Shiihashi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yoshiki Matsushita on 37 minute.
  • 42' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 47' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vegalta Sendai that had 275 games and scored 158 goals.
  • 52' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ryohei Michibuchi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 57' Both keepers have barely been tested. Gamba Osaka and Vegalta Sendai are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 62' Vegalta Sendai come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 67' It is a substitution in Vegalta Sendai team. Shun Nagasawa is replaced by Takuma Abe on 67 minute.
  • 69' Against the run of play, Takashi Usami has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 70' It is a substitution in Gamba Osaka team. Shinya Yajima is replaced by Shu Kurata on 70 minute.
  • 74' The crowd applauds Kunimitsu Sekiguchi as he leaves the pitch. Ryo Germain steps in for Vegalta Sendai.
  • 77' Goal! Ademilson scores his 24 goal in 403 matches.
  • 81' A change in the Gamba Osaka ranks — Takashi Usami exits the field as Patric enters on 81.
  • 86' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 89' The crowd applauds Yasuhito Endo as he leaves the pitch. Susaeta steps in for Gamba Osaka.
  • The final score is 2-0.
